FORTUNES OF THE PRESIDENT INVOLVED
Lively Contest Is Also Scheduled for
the Consrresslonal omtnstln In
Eleventh District Supreme
Court Hnllnics.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. 16. (Special.) It Is
now given out that there Is to be no quar
ter given In the fight which Is coming on
for control of the Iowa delegation and nil
possibility of compromise Is gone. There
will be a fight between the factions repre
sented by J. W. Blythe and those of Gov
ernor Cummins. While here thla week Mr.
Blytho gave it out cold that he wns a can
didate for delegute-ot-large to the conven
tion nnd dewired to represent Iowa on the
resolutions committee nnd that he would
make n fight to prevent the governor going
on the delegation nt nil. The position takea
In Governor Cummins' Inaugural address
was. In fact, a response to this defiance of
the faction which tried to defeat him for
the nomination tho first time. At the same
time It Is believed that the question of In
dorsing Roosevelt Is Involved, and that
should Blythe get control of the delegation
It tnlght be used to urge the nomination Of
Secretary Shaw should the situation war
rant this. But from this time on th fight
Is to be bitter between the factions. The
Blythe people have had full control pf the
statp committee at all times nnd will de
termine when the convention la to be held.
Governor Cummins goes to Washington
next week to see the president on behalf of
the soldiers of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
Iowa rcRlments, nnd miiy also confer with
others on political matters.
Northwest Iowa Polities.
Ex-Senator. A. B. Funk of Spirit Lake
returned to his home today. Ho has been
busy as president of the Capitol commis
sion. He is regarded as possibly a candi
date for congress In tho Eleventh district,
but owing to the 111 henlth of his wife Is
taking no active part and today dec'ined to
decide the question of his candldncy. U.
G. Sammls of Ie Mars, who visited here
during tho week, tins formnlly announced
that he will be a candidate to get the Ply
mouth county delegation. W. O. Roach of
Lyon county Is a candidate, also Senator
Hubbard of Sioux City and Judge Thomas,
the present member. Is a candidate. The
contest has opened In that district sooner
than elsewhere In the state.
Lets Nebraska. Man Off.
The supreme court of Iowa sustained the
right of a Nebraska man to come over
Into Iowa and stand trial for a crime with
out being BUbject to a suit for breach of
promise at the same time. The case was
that of Pauline 8. Murray ugainst J. T.
Wilson, appellant, from Story county. The
plaintiff had sued for breach of promise
of marriage and it appears that the notice
of the suit was flled on Wilson while he
was attending court in Story county, where
he had boen Indicted and brought back
from his home at Wood River, Neb. He
was acquitted. In the civil suit he claimed
that he was Immune from the service of
the process by reason of the fact that ha
was properly attending to his case and did
not loiter in Iowa after it was finished.
The supreme court. In an opinion by Jus
tice Ladd, decided that this position waa
correct and the breach of promise case
had no "standing In court.
Inv a case from Scott county the court
decided In favor of a drunken man, or
rather that he had proved he was drunk
enough to win his case. Real estate agents
got one Simon Koch Into a saloon and
while he was drunk Induced him to agree
to sell a lot for $25,000, and they paid him
$500 cash on the contract. -The lower court
decided that Koch must fulfill the con
tract. On appeal the higher court decides
that Koch was too drunk to make' a con
tract. The evidence was that the men
got him into the saloon antl Importuned
him to make the contract; that his wife
said he had been on a prolonged spree
and that he would get up In the night
ani drink; that he admitted he had "taken
a pint or so" that morning, and the saloon
keeper testified that Koch was very drunk
and to his knowledge had been drunk for
three weeks, The court refused to sustain
a verdict on a contract made under such
conditions.
The court's decisions wero:
Moebzel & Muttnra against Simon Koch,
appellant; Scott county. Judge Bollinger;
reversed, opinion by Weaver.
State against George Starchvlch, appel
lant; Appanoose county. Judge' Sloan;
stricken from docket.

Governor Cummins has received Infor
mation that ojie Peter Solyman, who Is
traveling In the state collecting money
ostensibly to bring eventy-five Armenian
orphans to the United 8ttes, la a fraud I
and im poster. Bolymsn secured a letter of '
commendation from the governor a few
days ago and had one from Oovcrnor
Mickey of Nebraska and letters from many
others. A preacher at Pella became sus
picious and wrote to a missionary ae"cre
tary In New York and got official informa
tion as to Solyman and that he Is not an
Armenian, but a Persian, and his letters '
which he brought to this country were for-
gerles. He has worked successfully In

Is supposed to be now In northwest Iowa.

THIRL) FRIZE-J-MRS. CHARLES MATTIIAI.
The name "Old Maid" Is a misnomer and an opprobrious epithet n
applied to the "Bachelor Girl" whose benign countenance depicts her
chosen life, reflecting to the beholder a noble woman who has not shirked
her duty In thnt station of life to which Ood has called her, but has
taken hold of Life's reins knowing there are no obstacles so hard to
overcome as the old prejudices, ridicule and misconceptions of the world.
Her life In its singleness of purpose Is manifold In the many traits of
benevolence, unselfish love and charity. Mrs. Charles Mattha'l. 805 East
Broadway.
There wern 104 answers submitted, some of which
failed to meet the required conditions, while many were
lacking only in minor details. In arriving at their de
cision the judges were obliged to discard a number of
excellent answers on account of technical points hardly
noticeable to the ordinary observer. The following
were deemed worthy of honorable mention:
City Auditor F. L. Evans. W. II. Lynchard. County Superintendent O.
J. McManus, Mrs. Christ ensnn, Lillian Droge, Mrs. A. G. Decker, F. R.
Letslnger, Underwood. Ia.; Cora Thompson. Hchuvler, Neb.
"FROLICS" SAYS ONE WORD TOO MANY.
Mr. George" II. Fitch, the "Frolics" editor of the
Nonpareil, submitted the following answer, which, how
ever, could not be considered because it contains 101
words, thereby exceeding the 100-word limit:
An old mnld Is a girl who can get along without a mnn.
She mny be 16 and nfrnld of men; she may be 25 and so learned that
they don't compare with psychology for amusement; or she mny he 45
and fonder of cnts. But ns long as she has anything In her possession
that she wouldn't trade for a man she Is a real old maid.
Some smart girls nre old maids nt 20; some not until 40 and some keep
right on wanting a man until they are 90 and never get Into the old
maid clnss at all.
